Lewandowski is off to Russia next month to represent Poland in the World Cup, he has been continuously linked with a move to Real Madrid but it now looks as if Chelsea will be the front-runners and willing to spend big to land their man.
It’s thought that Lewandowski could be brought in to replace record signing Alvaro Morata this summer. The Spaniard had a poor season that’s seen him miss out on Spain’s World Cup squad and he could be moved on after less than 12 months in London.

Manager Antonio Conte also faces an uncertain future at the club. The Italian failed to secure a top four finish and despite winning the FA Cup on Saturday, he has come under scrutiny from players and fans. It’s thought that it would cost the club around £10 million to terminate his contract.

Owner Roman Abramovich could also be in hot water after his visa application was delayed, with the British government set to investigate the source of his wealth as part of his application, making Chelsea’s sudden willingness to invest quite surprising.
